Note Regarding Cut Testing: So we are polishing for consistency to form a comparison. As opposed to really polishing how you would polish to remove sanding marks in real life. With the blue coarse pad for example I would be pressuring in a lot more to utilise the stiffness of the pad. possibly even cranking up the machine speed more.

Hi Jon. There aren’t diminishing abrasives, they are more of a uni grit / constant cut and therefore should be short cycled each set. A set should consist of one cross hatch pass per set, the set should be around 6-8 times the stress of the pad, and should only take around 45 seconds - 1 minute per set. Working this product long will only lessen the results. If 1 set doesn’t active the desired result then another set should be performed the same as the first set, or a step up should be made. You wouldn’t have to straight to go blue / blue, for example if yellow wool wasn’t doing the job with yellow polish, then you could go with yellow wool and blue compound, or blue foam with yellow polish, the step ups can be that fine tuned. HTH

[@LucaBonato]

Sorry could you elaborate: one cross hatch pass per set, set shoul be 6-8 times the stress of the pad.

[@Ally.MacMillan]

@@LucaBonato sorry that was a a typo which I can’t edit for some reason, it should read that the set area should 6-8 times the “size “ of the pad you are using, this goes for any of the Bigfoot machines, right down to the nano ibrid.

[@danlc95]

Abrasive orientation is said to be a combination of both types of abrasives. Work time shouldn't exceed six passes according to Jason Rose from Rupes.

[@leecarleton94]

I picked these kits up from AM details, when they had the offers on. I won a voucher so got 3 for the price of two.

[@leecarleton94]

@@ForensicDetailing The blue was missing the claw, but AM details sent one out. So i ended up with 3 claws.

[@roblansley2190]

Rupes in my opinion are the best. Their rotary machine LH19E is a absolute beast. Compound are foolproof.

[@ashleystratton352]

love the rupes wool pads you have to try the ultra fine with the yellow foam pads mate superb results, james at ti22 put me on to that combo.

[@iridescentdetailingltd5700]

We love the Rupes Yellow wool pads, only downsides we find is that the foam brakes down leading to short pad life. Very versatile pad though, amazing results for a single stage. Try pairing the yellow wool with Uno Pure and Uno Protect, very impressive and perfect for gloss enhancements.

[@DavidC1]

im a flex fanboy, however i do like when a brand offers the full range of kit because you know its gonna work.

[@jeffc6832]

This is an awesome system, Jason Rose and everyone else involved really did a great job on it. I recently did a correction on a silver Hyundai sedan that had heavy defects and very hard paint. To my surprise, I was able to one step it with the DA coarse and blue wool pad. I did do a 2nd step test spot with the yellow foam and DA fine, but I couldn't detect any visible improvement either by eye or under an inspection light. Very impressive finishing result for that aggressive compound and pad on hard paint.

[@heinvanbuuren8761]

The yellow pads gives also a awesome result with Sonax Perfect Finish and Sonax 04-06, it cuts a little more then the yellow polish .

[@paulphillips2941]

Brilliant from rupes, everything colour coded and giving both types of pads to try 👍 The prices are mega on them! 🃏

[@AKGaragezz]

I have just used mine kit today. What i found is yellow is more fun to work with as it greasier. Blue compound is even hard to remove with microfibre, as it is catching lol

[@AKGaragezz]

@Lee Francis Thanks, i was unable to get uniform film around the panel , so i have added a little bit more. I think you are right.

[@ForensicDetailing]

remember 1 minute set only with 1 horizantal then 1 vertical pass then stop and wipe. short fast sets. have a watch of the rupes you tube channel as well where they go into a lot of detail about usage tips.

[@jonkileshi9921]

The motionless alloy ordinarily scribble because watch steadily attack beyond a responsible rod. unwritten, nice museum

[@Ally.MacMillan]

These Rupes DA systems are brilliant when used as per Rupes guides, they are quite specific when compared to others, and are even quite specific on pad priming. Designed to be efficient, the yellow Fine DA system will be the one for most folks, a brilliant one step system, they yellow wool finishes amazingly well and is the one to use on harder paints. The white Uno Pure with a white pad is fantastic for gloss black exterior trim. Everyone has their own methods of polishing, but if you follow the Rupes guides for these systems, you will get the best results.

[@paulhamilton6013]

For me, best cutting compound on the market, I rate it even higher than Koch.

[@jtm1979]

Yeah better than Koch. TLC+ is even better compound, cut is on bar with Rupes coarse but the finish is much better.

[@richcooper6989]

So the real question after this now is what's the vest combo Blue wool yellow pad does that get the result? Or is it blue wool yellow wool white Both to get out the deep defects

I am just starting out detailing our cars. I’ve watched so many of your videos and learned a lot but still feel uncomfortable DA polishing my new car. I wish you could run a workshop or an online course. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@michaelmineman2090]

I was the same way, very apprehensive. Watch videos good informative videos like Forensic and others. Get a D/A machine, take your time, pay attn and you will be fine. My first car came out great. Removed all the light sanding marks etc. Really glad I took the plunge.

[@louishamilton225]

I have a rupes polisher and it is brilliant!! So easy to use and good results every time

[@dnetsuj]

Would be really interesting to see readings on the results you get when you mix and match the polish and and pads. I see a lot of detailers using Uno Pure with the yellow pads and it would also be very useful to know what kind of results you could get with the coarse polish on fine pads and vice versa!

[@interceptor7905]

Buy a junk hood/bonnet and try combinations on it

[@kensuperstar]

Hi Just wondering about the priming of the wool pad and hazing. Would hazing be less if the wool pad was not primed? According to a test done by Esoteric priming is pointless and a waste of product and hazing was lower unprimed. If not primed would it outperforme the foam pad? Trying to figure out what to purchase of products as i am taking delivery of a new black Tesla Model Y Performance and want to give that little extra touch before adding a ceramic coating This is what i am currently debating with myself: Sonax Pefect finish polish or Rupes yellow polish with either Rupes yellow foam pad or Rupes yellow wool pad. So when i see different videos testing the wool pads, primed and not primed, with focus on hazing I get a little lost 😅

[@TrevFD3]

Would have been good to see how the blue and yellow microfiber pads did in that test. I've been getting great results with them so far

[@danlc95]

Their microfiber pads are really nice. Loved the first versions too.

[@_Inks]

Hi, could someone offer me advice please. I have a brand new, 21plate VW T roc in black. I have watched many videos but I am still not confident about what softness pads I need! I'm scared cos I don't want to ruin the paint. It has spiderwebbing from dealer clean. I have built hamber double speed wax. Just some advice. Thanks

These companies are getting smarter Jon. They present their products in pretty, beautiful packaging too. Why wouldn't you buy any of these ? I'm a sucker for the packaging. Products like Gyeon, Turtle Wax etc.. I love Rupes stuff. I have the iBrid Nano Long neck kit, the updated version with the plastic case. Oozes quality !!

[@golf007sd2]

Thank you....great info!

[@SuperchargedLlama]

Cracking video Jon. This is why we love you and your content. Stay safe. And stop calling your radio a stezza 😜.

[@tripsingh3642]

Great review 👍 I wanted the ask what is better to use the rupes yellow foam pad with the da fine yellow polish or sonax perfect finish. Rupes as a manufacture does not give a cut rating like sonax which is a shame, there's not alot information from the company on the polishes I find. John how does the yellow pad perform with the koch chemie medium polish. How many sets with rupes yellow polish do you have to do to get a full correction just trying to understand their polish.

[@michaelmineman2090]

More great stuff John or Jon, not sure spelling sir. Really enjoy your videos. Long time car guy and finding out so much on many topics. Thank you!

[@01123581321341]

Jon I’ve been using the yellow mid range kit recently and loved it. I found the fine abrasive lovely to work with and buff afterwards. I always have used foam but now i’m super into wool because of these kits. Very nice on the panel and you’re right it delivers some cutting grunt ! On my paint it even finished out nicely to an acceptable level for me and left it there! (Although i have used UNO and it’s a gorgeous, slick, super enjoyable finishing polish - makes me smile whilst using it honestly)

[@Audittr2108]

Game Changer is a term that makes me cringe and is over used these days but the yellow wool has been a game changer for me. For one step enhancements its superb. Team up with an good all in one like Uno Protect and you can all a load of gloss in just a couple of hours. I polish my cars once a year and the yellow wool is all I’ve used for the last couple of years. I’ll just add both my cars have paint on the harder side as both are VAG.

[@jc7879]

I used the Rupes yellow wool pad a lot alongside either the Rupes DA fine compound or Koch Chemie F6.01. Amazing results for single stage use.

[@simasm.9757]

I hope the video on your detailing arsenal and what you have/use is coming nice video as always with those jokes I finally can get 250 ml blue and yellow changing that in my polishing order because I will use the rupes pads but sadly no white so sticking to Koch m3

Giving the yellow kit a go, great info. Seen other results for those yellow wool pads and this data backs that up perfectly. I was going to buy them anyway, but a nice kit option!

[@DavidC1]

Great video mate. I recently attended a Rupes & GTechniq training class that was a lot of fun.

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

I would be interested to see the effects of using the white ultra fine over the top of the yellow section that came out with really good results (can't remember which pad it was, I think it was the foam)

[@fireduponline]

Great video although the company is pronounced as “roops” 😎

[@pauldolman]

great video john, do you know if the rupes compounds and polishes you featured contain any silicons, which causes my bodyshop issues in paintwork on my classic car, i know a lot of compounds and polishes do have silicon in them?

Got the Rupes products, looking forward to seeing what you say over the next 30 minutes…. comment before watching :-)

[@andydpollard]

Hey watched the video now, found the panel comparison interesting. My Lotus was my first ever DA polish, after performing some test passes I went with the yellow wool, following that up with the white foam, finally protected with BH Finis Wax… Tempted by their Nano as the Elise has quite a few small areas the 15 is not ideal for, but the cost of a Nano is high when I’m only polishing my own cars… Favourite KZbin channel at the moment 👍🏻

[@tonymontana897]

No shipping options to Australia, despite it being on their list. Why do they do this ? Probably won't see this product here either I suspect.

[@theTHiiiNG]

The products are certainly available, but I haven't seen the kits yet. Repco have them on special for 20% off right now.

[@martin1649]

Hey jon. Partnership aside, how would you compare rupes abrasives to Koch ones?

[@ForensicDetailing]

really interesting less oily, and as others have said you need to shorten you sets with the rupes system. I think the koch stuff suits rotary application more and is more forgiving, can be worked for long time. rupes are giving you a suite that caters more lower processing times on DA's that will come in usefull when refinishing paintwork and you are mopping out sanding marks all over the car. the blue foam and corase compound does a hell of a lot of work in tiny time frames. And the fine can refine this well enough. Its a fantastic system. But if you dont use the rupes system incorrectly specuially the blue coarse you can dust it up and make life hard for yourself if you overwork it. but none of this is rocket science. its very very good,

[@danlc95]

DA Coarse has cut harder for me than Koch H9. Finishes as nice if not nicer. Also can potentially produce more dusting, which in my use means I used too much liquid.

[@sadieross-johnson2800]

It would be interesting (to me) to know how they grade the wool for the wool pads, e.g. microns of the fleece used. And is it superwash wool? that’s when the fleece is treated to stop it felting… not expecting an answer, just wondering

[@ForensicDetailing]

these are great questions but like the manufacturer is the only one to answer this.

[@sadieross-johnson2800]

[@CraigK80]

Great vid as always! You need to try RUPES Uno Protect with yellow wool, trust me this combo will turn everything on its head. One stop AIO correction and final acceptable polish finish. Let us know when you’ve done the vid be interested in your findings.

[@CraigK80]

@@ForensicDetailing I’ve tried the above (yellow wool/UNO protect combo) on BMW Black sapphire paint and was really impressed with the results. A very acceptable one hit solution and gives a good 6 month protection with really good beading qualities. Followed up with yellow wool/ DA fine combo and the areas needing a bit more correction. Don’t get me wrong BMW Sapphire black is hard as diamonds, and could go full blue, for an even better correction, but this creates the need for a 2nd or been 3rd step. I think once you’ve tried this combo you’ll find it hard to reach for anything else. There’s also talk of another UNO product due with a 12 months protect element, which will be a game changer I reckon.

@Bobby Situkangpoles a good combo I use is Soft99’s fusso coat speed & barrier. Insane beading and slick surface.

they can be used for forced rotation and rotary application but they have been primarily designed for use with the dual action bigfoot range. Rupes have abrasive products for their other polishers as well.

Rupes says that using these pads on a rotary works well but the pads won’t last long. For the rotary use the special Rupes pads for rotary.
